You mean the one that you go from pavement to immediate uphill rocks?  Trail 15.

Yep, that is trail 15.  That big rock was fun to climb...if you had sliders.

I discovered some carnage while getting the TJ off the trailer this morning.  Upper control arm on front driver side was bent.  Lower is untouched, so that's a bit strange, but clearly there was a pretty hard impact upward.  I don't recall any hard hits there.

Anyway, since it has a trackbar, I'm going to swap over the passenger side upper and run as a 3-link.  Then I'll have two spare joints.

Both diff vent tubes had been ripped as well (cheap fix).

I had an absolute blast on this trip!! I think this is the first trip I have been able to fully enjoy. I may have had a few issues this trip (bent tie rod, broken ignition, bent door hinge, dented both front fenders, bent exhaust, broken passenger mirror mount, dented Pillar, dented front passenger quarter panel, and worn transmission mount) but it's all to be expected in this sport! What's awesome is my passenger step and all 4 mud flaps held on like a trooper.  //LMAO// I can't thank everyone enough for their help and assistance with fixing my jeep, pulling cable, or holding my jeep from falling over backwards.  //::)// I'm really thankful for this group, there's none out there quite like it. Thanks to Wes, Danny, Todd, Clark, James, Alex, Mark, Kevin, Jared, Joe and Josh. Also, a special thanks to Marie (Todd's wife) for all the pictures taken. Let me know if I missed anyone. Aside from more seat time, I also learned quite a bit about how a vehicle runs or in some instances how it doesn't run. I did end up getting some pictures and video. I should have them posted by the weekend.

A "few" issues?   

Crazy trip, glad you had a good time!

Once I cleaned all the Tennessee mud off, I noticed some more damage. Worst is my passenger side slider got bent upwards pretty good. Can still open door, though!

Cracked rear taillight ...pretty sure this was on 21 when I backed into a tree.

More rear driver's side door damage, too.

My front bumper seems to be tweaked, too...about a 1/2" gap on driver's side.

Oh, and you know you were wheeling hard when you scrape paint off the TOP of your slider.

Great trip...damage worth it!
